D'awww, this is just adorable!

Anyway.

Speaking from the perspective of a blind female, I think what comes to mind for me is the way that I go about flirting myself? I guess I do what I would expect (to an extent), if that makes sense, so keeping that in mind, here are some things that occur to me.

Obviously a lot of it is going to be auditory. I don't know what kind of person you are in terms of facial expression, but the expression that you wear sometimes effects your sound--to put you under less pressure. It also depends on him, of course, but I know that I can personally tell when someone is smiling, I can hazard guesses to when they might be blushing, etc etc. And even if he can't see you looking coyly at him, doing that might put you in the right frame of mind to adopt a coy tone. If this is too much of a personality change for you, you definitely wouldn't have to do it, but it's something to keep in mind, I guess?

Maybe to make up for body language, do a bit of physical things? Nothing too forward of course, especially if you're not comfortable with that, but little things. Brushing your fingertips over the back of his hand, sitting just a smidge closer to him than you otherwise might.

I'm kind of just throwing out things here though. I personally have had all of my relationships progress from some sort of friendship though, so I wasn't trying to get their attention in an overly flirtatious manner, as it were. I wouldn't dream of stereotyping that all blind people are like me though, so maybe my word-vomit terrible tips will serve you for someone who isn't much like me. Haha.

Don't worry about being yourself though. If he's the kind of person that would like to pursue you as you say, you shouldn't go out of your way to change your mannerisms for him--in fact, it would possibly give him a false perspective of you, so if being giggly and coy and blushy isn't really you, don't force it. I'm sure that a few signs would be enough to grab his attention, anyway.

Unless he's just oblivious, but that's a whole other can of worms, isn't it? ;)

Good luck!

Sighted guy here, and I'm dating a blind woman. Everything pretty much works the same, dating-wise. She is perceptive, out-going, sassy, talkative at times, quiet at times -- all the things you would notice in any person. The only time disability is relevant for us is in what we choose to do together. It excludes some things, but also (happily) pushes you toward other things. We've spent a lot of time going to music shows, cooking together, shopping at farmer's markets, etc.

Flirting and communicating interest worked the exact same way. Find common interests. Think up things to do together and invite him (or find a way to make it happen), as you would with anyone else.

You're going to have to do *something*. Even if you don't think it's overt, you're going to have to show that you are interested, willing, etc. I know you're asking for what that something should be, but honestly (for my experience) it has been the same as with anyone else. You make it clear that you're available at specific times, like, "Hey, I'm free next Saturday, what are you up to?" Or you'll need to suggest activities that are neutral, with respect to dating, but which you can both go to, like, "I heard [author so-and-so] is going to be doing a book reading at [bookstore] this Sunday. Have you ever heard of [author]?"

But you won't get anything without risking *something*.

I'm a sighted girl dating a blind guy. I guess you could say I made the first move so maybe this isn't the route you would go but I just suggested we hang out sometime. I stood a little closer than typical personal space and just said we should hang out. You could leave the first moves like kissing up to him but most guys really like it when girls are straight forward about their interest. Anyway, it worked out and we've been together almost eight years! PM me if you ever need to talk about anything. Dating a blind man is awesome and different and challenging at times so please reach out if you want!
